after an earlier management dispute led to the ousting of Chief Executive Sun Dongxu.

The online controversy emerged in early December, when the subsidiary East Buy's social media content team upset some regular followers, leading to a boycott and stock price drop.
这场网络舆论始于12月初,当时新东方的子公司东方甄选的社交媒体内容团队激怒了粉丝,导致了抵制活动,并造成该公司股价下跌。
By comparison, followers of Dong's account on Douyin reached over 21 million.
相比之下,董宇辉的抖音账号的粉丝则超过了2100万。
The controversy started over whether the entire editorial team or Dong alone should take credit for many acclaimed promotional materials and phrasing,

and further escalated to whether East Buy was giving fair recognition and payment to Dong for his contribution.
